There were complaints online that the event T-shirt was originally advertised as dark blue and then later changed to white. As someone posted: “If I have known that the tee would be white, I might not have signed up for the run.”

Which I can sort of relate because I have decided whether or not to join a race based on the T-shirt design before. But in this case, the point is rather moot for me because I got the T-shirt one size too small.

My feeling about this is that this is what you signed up for. I have come to accept that whenever it rains, things are going to be screwed up. The organisers make the best judgment call they can, but it’s impossible to please everyone.

I find that organisers generally try not to cancel the race and I appreciate that.

Also because of rain, some people chose to skip the race but still want the finisher’s medal because ít’s their entitlement.

Again, I get that. You pay $45 to do something you could easily do for free, you want something to show for it besides the (wrong-coloured) T-shirt.
